Video: Do we need an O-Pad for iPad reform?

Not being an Apple user, I haven’t paid a lot of attention to the iPad buzz this week. I’m not quite sure why people are so excited over a large iPhone that doesn’t multitask and doesn’t make calls, but since I’m a willing hostage to Windows, I’m probably not in any position to criticize. (Now, if I used Linux …) However, the point of this rather clever video isn’t about the iPad at all, but about ObamaCare. Nick D’Orazio offers a brilliant two-minute takedown with a perfect ending, one that even iPad enthusiasts can enjoy:

The OPad also has a feature where it requires Apple to provide an after market warranty that allows you to repair or replace for free your iPad, even if it has a pre-existing condition, for example if you lost it. Apple is also required to provide a porn on demand option for an additional $1 a month.

The video was so clever. “They paid $500 up front, but I’ll be paying 100 bucks a year for …….(uh)……I don’t know how long!” Paying for Obama-whatever-stuff that does not/will not work. Brilliant! You’d think those people are Obama Zombies or something.

Now, I wonder why Applecare, the extended warranty, must be purchased within a year of buying your machine. Clearly unfair, and it denies pre-existing conditions. Furthermore, Applecare only extends your warranty for a total of three years! Why would Apple put a time limit on benefits? Sounds like Henry Waxman ought to haul Jobs up before Congress. We need a public oBamacare option to keep conservative, greedy robber barons like Steve Jobs from choking the information age in its cradle.

Although that sounds like abortion, in which case it might not be so bad from the government point of view.
